Working Storage

[magnum]

When a program is dynamically linked are values retained in working storage if that program is called multiple time from the same source?

thanks!

so long that the CALLed program does not have an INITIAL parm and there is no CANCEL verb associated with the CALLed program, the program is loaded by the first invocation and stays in memory until the end of the RUN-UNIT or a CANCEL verb. The CALLed module can be invoked from any member of the RUN-UNIT - for example, an I/O module to read (or write) a particular file can be CALLed (invoked) by any module and the CALLed module's WORKING-STORAGE will contain the same values present the last time the module exited.
